Lin Yuan chose the robot WALL-E. The movie with the robot WALL-E as the protagonist is called "Wall-E".
Why choose this one
The first reason is the ubiquitous science fiction elements in the movie!
Weizhou joined the merger this year, and science fiction novels, which were already very popular in Weizhou, began to attract attention from all continents.
Plus Lin Yuan’s own instigation.
Science fiction has become one of the most popular buzzwords today.
Making science fiction movies at this time is in line with the current trend.
Compared to this.
The second reason is even more critical:
Because the public reputation of this movie is explosive!
This is Shadow’s first animated film, so the first thing he needs to do is to win a good reputation!
Once your reputation is established, the road ahead will be easier.
If we compare word of mouth, what other animated films on earth have a better reputation than "Wall-E"
This is a masterpiece that was rated by 1,150,130 people on Douban and ultimately received a score of 9.3!
Although some Douban users are sometimes a bit weird, it is still very valuable for reference overall, not to mention that this animated film has won many international awards such as the Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, Annie Awards and Saturn Awards.
Science fiction + word of mouth!
This combination of punches will be Shadow's first shot in entering the animation film industry.
Of course, word of mouth alone is not enough.
The box office of this movie is also very impressive.
I just don’t know how much box office Wall-E can get on Blue Star.
After all, the box office performance of movies on Earth can only serve as a reference for the Blue Planet. There are so many factors that affect the box office performance, so it would not be too strange if it is higher or lower than that on Earth.
Never mind that for now.
Now that you have set a goal, you must accomplish it.
Lin Yuan officially started writing the script.
With his hand speed bursting out, Lin Yuan finished the script in little time.
At noon that day.
Lin Yuan handed the script to Jin Mu:
"Let's start the project."
"Have you finished writing the script?"
"Um."
"How come you do everything so fast?"
"To waste time is to waste life."
"But we haven't hired a director yet!"
After acquiring the animation film company, Kaneki successfully retained the technical employees, but all the directors left!
Who knew Lin Yuan was so fast
I had just recruited a group of new department leaders and didn't even have time to find a new director, but he had already written the script and was urging me to start the project as soon as possible.
Lin Yuan: "How long will it take to find a director?"
Kaneki: "If we just want to find an average animation director, it may only take a few days, but since this is our first time making an animation film, we must find a first-rate animation director. However, most of the first-rate animation film directors are in the hands of the five major animation film companies, so we need time to find one. How about you wait for me for a month?"
Lin Yuan: "If you can't wait that long, just find an ordinary director."
Kaneki's expression became serious: "I strongly advise against this, boss. The ability of ordinary directors is very limited. Animated films are very challenging for directors. Do we need to rush the time?"
Lin Yuan thought for a moment and said:
"It's okay. Just don't let him be the chief director. If his ability is not as good as that of a first-class director, it should be no problem for him to be an assistant director."
"Who will be the chief director?"
"What do you think of me?"
Lin Yuan made a suggestion that left Jinmu stunned.
…
Jinmu took a long time to recover, and said faintly: "It's more reliable for me to find an ordinary director from outside. At least I can guarantee that the other party is professional."
"I want to try it."
Lin Yuan just had this idea, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he could do it!
You know.
Lin Yuan had taught himself many majors with the help of energy potions, most of which were related to the career directions of the three vests, including a lot of theoretical knowledge of animation directors. He didn't know how many books he had read for this.
"I object."
Kaneki would not easily question Lin Yuan's ability, but when the other party proposed to be an animation director, he decisively chose to shake his head.
Are you kidding
Are you going to be an animation director
Why didn’t you tell me you were going to participate in the Blue Games
Is this the same as drawing comics, writing novels, and making music
"It's decided!"
Lin Yuan insisted: "I understand better than any other director how this film should be shot. I have already simulated what kind of images this film needs in my mind. For me, there is actually no essential difference between making an animated film and drawing comics."
Drawing comics is copying homework.
Animated movies are also plagiarism.
The only difference is that animated films need technical theoretical support and cannot allow laymen to direct professionals. However, Lin Yuan is not worried about this.
Because his knowledge theory is very rich.
As for the actual operations, such as the character modeling that is indispensable in animated films, there will naturally be employees to complete it, and these people just have to do what Lin Yuan says.
But Lin Yuan had no way to explain these things to Jinmu, so he could only make the decision forcefully.
"We can try."
Jin Mu knew that he couldn't change Lin Yuan's decision, so he could only soften his attitude: "If you can't do it, don't force it. Professional matters should be left to professionals."
Just try it.
Lin Yuan will give up when he sees difficulty.
Kaneki thought somewhat optimistically.
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't forget that this is not my first time making a movie."
Jin Mu held his forehead with his hand: "Of course I know that you are the core screenwriter of the live-action movie, and being the director of the live-action movie is no problem, but we are going to shoot an animated movie, and there are not even actors. It is completely different from a live-action movie."
Sighed.
Kaneki held up the script and said, "Anyway, let's do this for now. I have to go to a meeting with the heads of various departments to finalize the investment budget first."
Lin Yuan opened his mouth and said: "One billion."
Jinmu shuddered when he heard this and almost choked on his own saliva: "No matter how rich you are, you can't play it like this. After all, this is our first time making an animated film, so it's better to be safe. I think three or five hundred million is the maximum, after all, it's just a test. A billion-dollar production is usually only something that the five major animation film companies dare to do!"
Lin Yuan shook his head: "The effect requires technical support, and technology requires a lot of money!"
When choosing this movie, Lin Yuan already knew approximately how much money would be needed to achieve the effect he wanted.
Crazy!
Jin Mu felt that Lin Yuan had gone a little crazy in order to make Shadow catch up with Chu Kuang and Xian Yu. This was a symptom of being possessed:
"I'm going to a meeting first!"
Kaneki was afraid that his heart would not be able to bear it if he stayed any longer.
Lin Yuan nodded in agreement: "Remember to find me an assistant director to assist me."
The chief director is responsible for the general direction, and Lin Yuan needs a professional assistant director to serve as his tool.
…
afternoon.
Chasing the dream factory.
Jinmu called the heads of various departments to a meeting.
The meeting had only been underway for two minutes when a heated discussion broke out in the room!
"Are you kidding me?"
"Shadow is the chief director?"
"Does he know anything about film animation?"
"Has he had any experience at all?"
“This is too messy!”
"This is not something you can mess around with."
"Drawing comics and directing an animated film are totally different things!"
"Even if he is the God of Comics, which we all admit, can't the God of Comics just be a screenwriter?"
"I don't agree!"
Almost all department leaders are opposed to it.
Many of these people were recently hired by Kaneki from other animation film companies at a huge cost, and they have certain expectations for this dream factory.
However.
Before the first animated film was even launched, they learned that Shadow was going to be the chief director, and they were all shocked.
Some even doubt:
If Yingzi really becomes the chief director, I'm afraid the day this work is released will be the day this company goes bankrupt.
Should I start looking for a new employer in advance
This thought popped up involuntarily in some people's minds.
Jinmu was very upset.
In fact, he didn't believe that Lin Yuan could be an animation director, but he couldn't beat his boss.
but.
Feeling the distrust of these leaders, Kaneki suddenly became a little angry!
He glanced around:
"Do you know how Shadow single-handedly overturned the entire tribal comic?"
"Do you know how many doubts Shadow had to overcome and how many difficulties he had to overcome before he became the recognized comic god in every continent?"
"Do you know what a genius is?"
"These geniuses are different from ordinary people. You can't speculate on the upper limit of a genius's ability from the perspective of ordinary people."
"Who would have thought that Xianyu could beat Abigail at the Blue Games?"
“Some time ago, who would have thought that Chu Kuang could actually win the Galaxy Award?”
"As a genius on par with Chu Kuang Xianyu, Shadow certainly possesses certain abilities that we haven't seen yet!"
Kaneki became more and more excited as he spoke.
In the end, he believed it himself.
Shadow can be the animation director!
There is no special reason, just because he is Lin Yuan!
There is nothing Lin Yuan can’t accomplish as long as he wants to!
For a while.
The heads of various departments were somewhat silent.
In fact, Jinmu's words can't form a very convincing logic. He based all the possibilities on the fact that Shadow is a genius, but everyone is a little shaken and even starts to think:
Maybe he can really do it
Of course, it was Kaneki's next words that sealed the deal: "Don't forget, Shadow is our boss."
This dream factory belongs to Shadow!
Shadow can do whatever he wants!
Not convinced
Then just quit!
This sentence was too provocative, so Kaneki certainly couldn't say it out loud.
When everyone looked serious, Jinmu suddenly smiled and said, "What the boss means is that he wants to try. Whether you can make him give up depends on you. If he really can't do it, I will convince him to give up this idea."
Kaneki successfully calmed everyone's emotions.
The responsible persons present stood up one after another: "Let's prepare for the project now."
No need to waste words.
They want to make Shadow give up!
…
Of course, Lin Yuan didn't know about the swordplay in this afternoon's meeting.
After talking with Jinmu, Lin Yuan began to make his own preparations.
And when the time came the next day.
The heads of various departments suddenly contacted Kaneki together: "We need to meet with Teacher Shadow. Many things need to be decided by the chief director."
Jinmu was helpless.
New problems arise.
Since Lin Yuan is going to be the chief director, he can't stay out of sight all the time. But once Lin Yuan shows up, everyone will immediately know that the so-called shadow is Xian Yu!
After all, Xianyu's face is recognized by almost everyone in the world.
After calming these people down, Jinmu contacted Lin Yuan immediately: "Why don't we just forget it? Shadow has to contact people as the chief director. As long as you contact people, Shadow's identity will be exposed immediately. But they insist on seeing you now."
"I had anticipated this question."
Lin Yuan was not panicked at all: "Just arrange for them to come see me."
Kaneki frowned, "See you directly?"
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Do you still remember Prince Lanling?"
Prince of Lanling
Jinmu was stunned.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly came to his senses: "You want to communicate with them wearing a mask?"
Lin Yuan said: "This is the only way."
Jinmu smiled bitterly: "Although the style of painting is a bit strange, it doesn't seem to be a problem. However, your voice seems to be a flaw. After all, Xianyu's voice may be recognized by others. Who made you so famous?"
Lin Yuan said: "I can change it."
Jin Mu thought of Lin Yuan's androgynous voice and put aside his last bit of worry: "Then you should prepare for Shadow's first offline fan meeting."
"Um."
Five minutes later.
Lin Yuan entered the company wearing a black mask.
This black mask was designed by Lin Yuan. It perfectly covers the cheeks and looks very cool. The only complaint is that it feels a bit awkward to communicate with people while wearing the mask in real life.
But as Lin Yuan said:
This is the only solution.
The other side.
Kaneki has already brought people to the company's gate.
The heads of various departments all had expressions full of curiosity.
Despite his fame, Shadow has never made a public appearance.
And next, they will see the true face of the shadow.
It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious.
After all, Shadow is a legend in the comics world!
Even people in the animation industry are familiar with his name!
"boss."
Kaneki knocked on the door nervously.
A voice that was unfamiliar to Kaneki came from inside:
"Come in."
Kaneki paused slightly.
The voice was obviously that of a man, but one could not tell his exact age. In any case, it had a very magnetic feel, with a hint of indescribable laziness and casualness.
Been together for these years.
Jinmu had never heard such a voice before at Lin Yuan's place. He even suspected that the person sitting inside was Lin Yuan.
Click.
The door was pushed open.
In front of the table in the room, there was a figure in casual clothes, sitting lazily on a chair, playing with a pen in his hand, his body leaning back, with a dark black mask on his face.
Depend on!
The corners of Jinmu's mouth twitched. When he saw the masked face, he still didn't dare to confirm whether the person in front of him was Lin Yuan.
It seemed as if the other person's temperament had changed.
That lazy and casual feeling and temperament are completely different from Kaneki's impression of Lin Yuan, as if the fictional "shadow" has really run into reality!
Having said that.
If the shadow has a real image, it must be the image in front of him. Kaneki inexplicably had this thought.
And behind Kaneki.
The leaders of various departments who were curious about the shadow were all surprised when they saw the masked figure.
What is this
Wear a mask
Performance art
Someone asked tentatively: "Shadow Teacher?"
Shadow sat up straight, raised his head slightly, and spun the pen madly between his fingers:
"Good morning everyone, I'm Shadow."
The whole office fell into an eerie silence.
In this eerie silence, Lin Yuan's eyebrows suddenly began to twitch wildly under his seemingly indifferent mask.
Is this considered social death
It's a bit shameful indeed.
When I participated in the King of Masked Singer, I didn’t think there was anything wrong with wearing a mask. Is it because my acting is too exaggerated
It shouldn't be.
At this moment, I have completely immersed myself in the role of Shadow, and even my personality and habits are strictly in accordance with the acting method.
I am a shadow!
I am a shadow!
I am a shadow!
Lin Yuan kept reminding himself that his hands had naturally crossed together without him knowing when, as if waiting for everyone to speak.
